People are amazing. You have any idea what type of planning goes into the demo of a building? You think someone could march in with the building on fire from a Commercial Airline that just crashed into it? Just amazing.

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell Pretty funny, sad how much can actually happen in the process. I've had some of these things happen.

LMAO. The $100 bill is the best part.

Is desc a value in your table? Maybe because that is a mysql keyword for sorting.

Here's one way http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/

Got a nice little laugh out of that. You need a midget (or should I say "little person")

Life's a bitch aint it!

Thanks Stevie. I've had some issues with using the 2 backgrounds, maybe I should rethink it. I don't see the highlight text as being difficult to read, does anyone else have opinions if that is an issue?

Looks pretty good. The header image looks stretched. I'm still curious on how you plan to handle the background, is it just going to cut off on the sides?

I really enjoy landscaping and also like construction type trades. Sometimes I wish I would have gone another route, but I still do enjoy computers. I almost became a firefighter but didn't want to be a medic.

I didn't even own a computer until I started college in the summer of 98. I knew how to type since middle school but never really used computers at all. Once I got my first computer I knew this was something I really liked. I was always a big gamer and really liked computer games. Long story short it didn't take too long for me to decide to pursue a career utilizing computers in some way. I started in technical support and chose to major in Computer Information Systems for my Bachelors degree. I took my first programming course that started with C++, even though we really just did some procedural C. I then moved quickly into OOP with Java and a couple courses in Relational Databases in Oracle. I realized I did like programming but due to some mistakes in my youth I wasn't a math expert by any means. All the programming I did in C and Java was pretty much just console programs. What really sparked my interest was my course in web programming.The professor wasn't very good but having some real assignments got me started in creating my first website. I knew that I could now apply some programming and create usable designs backed by a database. The first thing we learned was html, coldfusion and some basic flash. The course was actually pretty bad. I knew of PHP and wanted to try it. PHPfreaks was I think the first place that I found some good info and I created my first data driven website. I was pretty artistic as a kid but gave up any drawing for MANY years. I heard of Photoshop and aquired a copy. I watched a lot of training videos to learn the ins and outs and eventually got pretty decent. Today web development is a small part of my day job and I freelance when work comes my way on the side.

Are you trying to resolve via your browser by navigating to the page? Have you tried to ping the hostname?

Can you give an example of your hosts file that you are trying.

You can try here http://activeden.net/category/video-players

Can you post a screen shot of the highlight text. The meteor shouldn't be interfering. 9 could be better and a search is something I still have to add, but it is easy enough. I probably should have done that already before posting this. The logo/icon can probably use some work, I did that years ago and haven't played with it in this revision.

This is a remake of a site I developed a long time ago. There was a revision before this that I was not happy with and never went online. Most of the major work is complete. Most of the content (mainly the gallery is the bulk of the site) is controlled with a custom CMS. I have to finish some odds and ends but I think it is ready for critique and problem fixing. http://dev.bcastropics.com/ Let me know of any holes you may find. edit: I forgot to mention that I haven't tested and I know that IE6 will have major problems mostly due to the transparent PNGs I've used around here and there, but I intend to put a notice to those users. In my mind there is no need for a site like this to cater to old browsers. I have some other cool ideas to build on as well.

Just use a counter. During the upload process check if the file exists, if it does just increment a counter. e.g., image.jpg image1.jpg image2.jpg

I'm not sure what your 'alt image' is. Can you explain what image you are referring to. I don't see anything load and then disappear.

There are likely some syntax changes, but you should be able to run some pretty basic queries. A quick google search turned up this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HA102564021033.aspx

Do a search for "favicon". I believe that is what you are looking for. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The type is the file mime-type, not the extension.

You'll have to use a little bit of unobtrusive javascript to do it right.

Why not just try using real data, what are the chances you will have a string that long with no space? Otherwise you have to do as FaT3oYCG said and create a string function to break it up after so many characters.

A div is a block level element, it will natively drop below the previous div unless you are using floats or change the display properties.

I've been trying out Microsoft's Security Essentials.
